EDITOR’S PAGE/Nim Marsh

Keeping one’s nose – and head – clean

Recently, I was accused of unbolting a marine toi-let from the sole and towing the hopper downChesapeake Bay. I was stunned – and not a lit-

tle embarrassed. I had forgotten all about the incident,which was easy to forget because I didn’t think any-one, other than my cruising companion, had beenaware of it.In the fall of 1993, we were sailing from Newport to

the Annapolis Boat Show in my 27-foot sloop Break-away. We hadn’t planned to sail to Annapolis. Our em-ployers had expected us to fly down with the rest ofthe magazine staff, buthaving sailed to BlockIsland before the showbegan, we were think-ing, What the hey, we’vegot a good jump on it,why not keep going?In the interest of full

disclosure, my light-hearted approach to lifeseemed at times in con-flict with the tenets ofgood seamanship, but Ican think of only oneinstance in which I wasinvolved in an unsea-manlike act, and thiswas documented inSeptember/October issue of “Ocean Navigator.” It involved a food fight at sea – but I didn’t really

start it. The skipper of the British Swan 55 I wasaboard did, after a two-day Bay of Biscay gale – withheadwinds, 50-knot gusts, and two knockdowns – laidwaste to the poor old girl. Storm damage included tornheadsail and mainsail; roller-furling failure; multiplehatch, deadlight and mast-partner leaks; and two headdoors smashed when crew were thrown into them. Tomake repairs, raise morale and regroup, the skipperheaded for La Coruna, Spain. The captain – who’d skippered a British Steel Chal-

lenge boat “wrong way around the world” three yearsearlier (and, incidentally, won a prestigious seaman-ship award for rescuing an overboard crewmember inthe process) – came on deck as we headed in to findthat my watch had cut the succulent center from afruitcake, leaving only the rind for his watch. Incensed(the desired reaction), he gained control of the com-panionway and the ammo (the food), drove us aft, andfinished us off with a relentless whipped-cream bar-rage. Sure, while my watch did play the role of the

Archduke of Sarajevo in this conflict, and I did partic-ipate, I only did so out of self-defense.Now, perceptions of what is seamanlike and what is

not vary greatly. Late one May in the 1970s, my part-ner in the toilet scandal was ferrying one of four Mor-gan OI 41 charter boats, along with a mother hen, aColumbia 43, from the Leeward Islands to Stamford,Conn. “We were supposed to be in Stamford, ready toroll on Memorial Day weekend,” he says. “Off OceanCity, N.J., the wind began to build from the northeast,classic New Jersey lee-shore stuff. The Columbia held

station off AtlanticCity, motoring andtowing one of the OI41s. Another OI 41hung by him, alsomotoring. I set thestaysail and headedoffshore to gain sea-room. “Two boats had

nowhere to go but upon the beach, and thecrews wound up atthe Brigantine Motel.I was listed as ‘unac-counted for’ until Icalled the Columbiain the morning. The

atmosphere was a bit frosty. To think that, if we’d donethe ‘right’ thing, we could have watched movies on amotel TV.”So back to the toilet incident: Granted, it sounds un-

seamanlike, like some adolescent prank – dragging atoilet through the Annapolis anchorage during boat-show week . . . cool. But that wasn’t it at all. Beatingup Delaware Bay toward the Chesapeake & DelawareCanal, the old Raritan simply cried uncle, and we de-cided to remove it and store it in a cockpit locker. Onceremoved, it had to be cleaned. And what could havebeen easier than powerwashing the unsavory hunk ofporcelain for a few sea miles?“It was years before I could stop laughing every time

I thought about the caper,” wrote my accuser. But weweren’t trying to be funny. We were just trying to san-itize a mothballed W.C. before stowing it. Apparently,long before Tweeting and texting, You Tube and Face-book, it was already more difficult to keep one’s noseclean than one’s “head.” And due to one mystery mole,I may forever be known as the sport who towed a toiletto the Annapolis Boat Show (this year, Oct. 4-8).

Kudos to Sea Tow for recoveryOn Sept. 8, we arrived at Handy Boat, Falmouth,

Maine, to go aboard our Pacific Seacraft 34, Merlin. Inchoppy seas and a strong breeze, it was a wet ride in thelaunch out to our boat. As my husband continued to look Merlin over, he

caught sight of a capsized boat, a 20- to 22-foot center-console, several hundred yards from us, east of YorkLedge. We called Handy’s who immediately found out themooring number, and the harbormaster reached theowners. The next news we heard was that Sea Tow wasen route. Our wind instruments clocked the wind speed at a sus-

tained 20 to 22 knots, the occasional 26-knot blast. Theseas were choppy, perhaps two to three feet, the wind wasfrom the southwest. At first, an 18- to 22-foot Sea Tow boat appeared and

checked out the boat. Then a second, larger Sea Tow boat,24 to 26 feet, responded. The high winds and seas weregoing to make any recovery difficult. The crewman fromthe first boat secured his boat to a nearby mooring andjoined the second boat. A line and float was secured to the bow of the capsized

vessel (left, top). The Sea Tow crew then released the cap-sized vessel from its mooring and maneuvered it to a po-sition in which they could pull it up with the tow line(center). Once the vessel was in the correct position, theypulled the boat up and headed toward Clapboard Islandand a lee shore. As the Sea Tow boat moved at speed, theonce capsized vessel righted (bottom) and drained itself,and was towed to the Falmouth town landing, where theowners got it onto a trailer. What could have been asunken vessel was saved by Sea Tow in rather inclementweather.

When meeting schooner race . . .Re: Your letter to the editor (“Race Encounter Was Un-

settling,” August), you should have just gotten the@%&*&# out of their way. Big sailing vessels are quitemaneuverable when they have a good amount of way on.With less wind and less way, they are rather less maneu-verable. This being said, with some wind they are stillfar less maneuverable than your 27-foot “sport boat.”What you should have done is haul your wind and waitfor the procession pass, captured it on your camera, andthen carried on.I am a schooner captain, and I can tell you that the or-

dinary rules of the road go out the window quite quicklyWe have seen this righting maneuver executed by the SeaTow crews, and it always seems miraculous.

when you’re in a 130-foot schooner surrounded by smallvessels. The most troubling thing is that everyone wantsto get a good picture so they can tweet it to all theirfriends. This results in every boat in a half-mile radiusheading straight for you. Trying to take action to avoid acollision is moot when you’re the hub and all the actionis coming at you. Most often, when I don’t take avoiding action, it’s be-

cause the smaller vessel comes right at me, gets within10 feet to take a picture of the chipping paint, and thenveers off typically downwind under no sail to get to thenearest safe anchorage.The fact of the matter is this: Small boat owners don’t

consider the limitations of larger vessels when out tour-ing, nor are they able to look at a chart, read the wind,and anticipate what the captains of these vessels are go-ing to do, which often puts them under forefoot. I can as-sure you that the captains driving those schooners aremore than acquainted with the rules of the road; theyjust have a boatload of common sense to go with it.

Not time to insist on right of wayHere’s a reader’s thoughtful response to Jim Love’s let-

ter in the August 2012 issue of Points East. Actually,

you’re getting feedback from two folks, one of whom is alicensed Skipper with both a sail and power ticket, andthe other a Maine boater with 40 years experience. As I dictate this coming down Penobscot Bay, I’m look-

ing at the Victory Chimes sailing across the bay – muchthe same situation in which Mr. Love found himself. I cansee the Victory Chimes four or five miles away. It’s nothard to see nor hard to avoid. I’m inclined first to suggestthat the general prudential rule – which is, in effect, don’tinsist on your right of way if to do so would be to createa dangerous situation – should be kept in mind. Mr. Love should had had plenty of time to plan his

course; should have known from Coast Guard announce-ments that a race was in progress; or, in just a passingobservation, should have noted there were a bunch ofschooners and they were probably racing. It’s not a timeto insist on one’s right of way.Technically, his reading of the rules is right. I’m a

lawyer and interpret rules every day, not necessarilymaritime ones, but the concepts are the same. Too, largeschooners are, in fact, difficult and slow to maneuver.That should have been a consideration. Here’s my sum-mary: Next time assess the whole situation. Assesswhether you want to continue to insist on your rule thatyou’re the stand-on vessel and the others are burdened;understand that a race is in progress; that you’ve gotsome large vessels involved; and that to insist on one’sright of way would have been risky – thus, the gesticula-

tions and vigorous conversations with the crews. If the experience was unsettling and frightening, it

ought to be put in context that rights of way should notbe insisted upon when to do so would be to create moredanger, when a simple looking ahead and going aroundthe fleet would have sufficed. Consider, too, the contextof 27-foot sailboat against a 100-foot-or-so of very heavylumber. I’m sorry that Mr. Love felt he (had) to write the letter,

but if experience qualifies, Terry has had a ticket forabout 30 years and I’ve been boating for about 40 years.Simply said, he created his own worrisome situation.There you have it.

Return of Muscobe’s flybridge?I just read the “Letters” segment of the September is-

sue and saw the headline over my father Joel’s letterabout Muscobe’s flying bridge which read, “The editorloved that flying bridge.” If it’s any consolation I, too,loved that flying bridge, and could not fathom why myfather decided to get rid of it.He tells me that he prefers a more authentic Downeast

look for the boat, and she certainly rolls a lot less in aswell. However, for me, nothing beat being up there withthe wind whipping through my hair on a hot summer

day, or jumping off the top into the cool waters in andaround Marblehead harbor. It also was a much more ef-fective place to steer from at night, given the reduced vis-ibility in the wheelhouse caused by the tinting ofMuscobe’s windows.That said, my father is very happy with the look of the

boat. Nevertheless, if Muscobe ever comes into my pos-session, you can be sure the first thing I’ll do is to havethat flying bridge rebuilt.

Randy GleasonDedham, Mass.

Note from Dad: In view of Randy’s comment aboutreconstructing the bridge, I’ll be redoing my will in themorning.

Why ‘most pimped-out’ Paceship?Editor’s note: In his September Perspective, “An Un-

certain Age,” Richard Gonci told us he sailed what “Prac-tical Sailor” called “the most pimped-out Paceship inAmerica.” Curious, we asked why it was recognized assuch, and here is Richard’s response. The real story is not so much what we did, but why we

did it. Here’s a synopsis that covers both. Gemini is a1979 26-foot fin-keeled Paceship, originally powered bya small one-lung Yanmar diesel. She belonged to Sonny,my best friend of over 30 years, who died after owningand sailing her for just three seasons between 1999-2001. Sonny had a rare debilitating disease that left him on

a respirator for over four years. He could only “speak” byusing a laser pointer affixed to goggles aimed at an al-phanumeric board across his hospital room. Subse-quently, I and a dear friend, enabled him to use aWeb-connected laptop to “speak” to all his friends aroundthe world through emails, with an infrared pointer. Heactually wrote his illness memoir (190 pages) from hishospital bed, one slow “keystroke” at a time, which hasrecently been published.After he died, his family came to me with concerns that

they could not manage his boat, which had been on-the-hard for those four-plus years. I allowed as I had both themeans and the knowledge to launch her again, which wedid, after doing a stem-to-stern refit. I took his 90-year-old dad out for the re-launch trip.A year later, the family essentially gave me the lovely

little sloop. Sonny had a number of passages he dreamedof making on this worthy little boat. While captive to hishospital bed, he dreamed of cruising from Block Islandto Southwest Harbor, Maine, with dozens of ports-of-callin between. My wife and I determined that his cruisingdream would be fulfilled. It was the last thing we coulddo for a departed friend.In preparation for this journey, I had her completely

re-rigged, running and standing. I installed the HarkenBatCar system for the mainsail, and purchased a newFurlex for the 120 and 150 genoas. The mast was re-coated, the sails were replaced, the electronics were se-

riously goosed-up (including Raymarine depthsounderand wind instrumentation), and a Garmin 545 GPS hasbeen mounted in the cockpit. Next, she got a Raymarinetiller-drive autopilot to make those nightlong passages alittle less tiring.I had her hull refinished to a fine polish. A brand-

spanking new Yanmar 3YM30 was painstakingly in-serted in the void left after the demise of the littleeight-horse predecessor. A three-blade prop has replacedthe largely useless two-blader. 110-volt 30A shore-powerhas been installed, along with a freshwater cockpitshower. All the 12-volt systems have been rewired. She now boasts 150 feet of chain with a Lewmar

ProFish windlass and a bow-roller mounted Delta anchor.Secondary rode consists of 50 feet of chain, 200 feet of half-inch Yacht Braid rode, and a Fortress FX-16 anchor.Her tender is a 7.5-foot high-pressure Zodiac with a

four-horsepower, four-stroke Tohatsu outboard, both sus-pended from new Forespar dinghy davits. She has allnew cushions, both berth and cabin, and 110-volt refrig-eration backed-up by a Trace 1500W inverter/generator(to accompany her large ice box,) and a Sharp “Half-Pint”600W microwave. Most recently, she received a Furunoradar system, tied to the GPS, for the Maine legs of thecruising itinerary.My wife and I completed the entire circuit last year,

culminating a four-year effort. Some ports were visitedmore than once. Some legs were shortened by the whims


of Mother Nature; others, by the demands of family andwork. Last year we committed to 31 consecutive days,with only one night spent sleeping ashore. After a noviceerror resulting in a grounding in Boston Harbor in theshakedown summer, no other damage has been sufferedby this little lady by our hands. My last day of the finalleg of “Sonny’s tour” was also my first-ever solo day –from deep inside Rockland Harbor to Portland. I enjoyeda pristine day on a single point of sail after rounding thelight in Rockland.I probably could have purchased a recent vintage Tar-

tan 34 for what I have put into Gemini, but then itwouldn’t have been Sonny’s boat.

There really was a Mr. CondonI just finished reading Ronna Benjamin’s article in the

September issue (“Seven Mornings in Maine”). Please as-sure Ronna that there was a real Mr. Condon. When wefirst started cruising in 1982, we were in Bucks Harbor,moored at the far-eastern end. My 20-year-old two-horseJohnson was giving me fits. So, my two daughters and I“rowed all the way” to the Buck’s Harbor Yacht Club. Weclimbed the hill to Condon’s Garage. There he was, and,almost as if we were living the story, he checked out themotor and put in a new spark plug, which solved theproblem. And then it was off to the store for the obliga-tory ice cream.

I had a copy of “One Morning in Maine” with me, andnow it has Mr. Condon’s signature, with a dedication toRebecca and Jessie. I don’t expect to be around whenthey have to decide who will eventually own it. Perhapsshared ownership of six months each year is the best so-lution.

Thanks to two Good SamaritansMy wife Joanne and I had just finished a glorious late-

afternoon sail out of Wells Harbor, Maine, on a picture-perfect September day. With the wind dying, wereluctantly agreed it was time to head in. But try as Imight, I could not get our little outboard started. Luckily for us, our plight was noticed by Charlie

Bernier, Jr. and Charlie Bernier, Sr., aboard Sr.’s power-boat, Four Aces. With competence and nonchalance, thetwo Charlies and their ancient Johnson outboard towedus through the jetties and back to our slip. Thanks, Char-lie and Charlie, for being such Good Samaritans.

The Mystery Harbor is Essex Harbor in Es-sex, Conn. I could tell because of the Con-necticut River Museum in the background. Iam from Essex and have worked at the EssexYacht Club for four years. It’s a great place togo boating.Essex Harbor is a special place to me be-

cause Essex is my hometown. The harbor ishome to a myriad of marinas, yacht clubs, andshipyards, including Essex Yacht Club. Idrove the launch at the Essex Yacht Club forfour summers in high school and college, so Ican recognize most of the boats moored there. Although there are no boats over 50 feet al-

lowed on moorings, there is plenty of dockageavailable. Essex can be tricky for some skip-pers: It is on the Connecticut River, and thecurrent is often stronger than the wind. Thewater is brackish because we are so close tothe mouth of the river. There is an anchorageacross the river near Knott Island, which is afun place to go swimming during the day. Essex is home to eagles during the late win-

ter months, osprey, and other birds andwildlife. The village of Essex is beautiful andhistorical, with the Griswold Inn (the longestcontinuously running inn in America) and theConnecticut River Museum as must-sees. The Essex Steam Train is another fun activity for

families if you can get ashore. For dinner, go to “theGris” (if you never have), go to Abby’s or Marley’s if youwant to eat on the water, and go to the Black Seal ifyou want to eat with the locals. Essex is a wonderfulplace to have a boat.

There’s only one captain of this shipPerspectives

Or is there? Surfing down the Atlanticrollers at 8.1 knots, Elsa was like a fatold lady on an amusement park’s water-

slide. Half-submerged, whooshing downthrough the white foam, there was an unmis-takable mixture of joy and terror in the scene.But even at 8.1 knots, Elsa must have

seemed slow to my friend. As a man who spenthis whole career as a commercial airline pilot,Elsa’s romp down the Atlantic swells was, bymy calculations, 486.9 knots slower than theaverage speed my long-time pal was used to. Don’t get me wrong, he also has a few sea

miles under his belt. Just enough, anyway, tolegitimately question authority. If we reversed roles, how-ever, and put me and my zero flying hours into the FirstOfficer’s seat of a 727 flying into a bad situation, for oncein my life I’d shut up. Besides, what would I say? “Maybeyou should turn off that annoying flashing light andsiren...it’s pretty unnerving, don’t you think Captain?” Weird things always happen when I get near the Isles

of Shoals off the New Hampshire coast. This was no dif-ferent. Remarkably, surfing through our approach tothese storied islands, my friend and I were discussing thedetails of airplane crashes in the 1990s and 1980s. I mentioned Malcolm Gladwell’s book “Outliers” and

his chapter on this subject. He highlights several crashesdue to the rigid hierarchy of command, the subsequentfear of retribution from subordinates, and the resultingweak, indirect or oblique communications to the captain.One example is a Korean Air flight’s approach to Guambefore its fatal crash in extremely poor visibility and thelack of visual appearance of the runway. The First Officer says: “Don’t you think it rains more?

In this area, here?” What he means by that is: Captain,You have committed us to visual approach, with nobackup plan, and the weather outside is terrible. Youthink that we will break out of the clouds in time to seethe runway. But what if we don’t? It’s pitch-black outsideand pouring rain and the glide scope is down. But hecan’t say that. He can only hint his advice rather thanrisk a major breach of authority. His hint isn’t enough tosave the lives of 223 people. As we were talking in the cockpit that day off the Isles

of Shoals, I glanced to the west at the dark, encroachingclouds of a thunderstorm. We were about a mile out fromthe harbor and still under full mainsail. We both lookedand speculated about whether it would keep coming our

way or slide up along the coast. In my mind, Iran through a lot of scenarios about whetheror not to drop the sail: new mainsail, so hardto furl; big rolling seas; not sure how well myfriend will do on the helm if we round up inthese seas and I go forward to try to douse themain; don’t know if I can manage it once wedo round up into the seas and it’s half down;maybe it’s safer just to hang on tight to Elsa’sproven sea legs and just scream though it untilit blows through – but what about that ledgeoff the entrance to Gosport Harbor: What if it’sobscured by the squall? And on and on.What my friend was thinking was just one

thing: Captain, maybe we should take that big sail down.Instead, we stared and speculated on whether the squallwould miss us. It didn’t.“We’re dumping the main,” I said. I went forward as

my friend rounded up into the wind and seas. The big,stiff new Dacron mainsail came down like jagged sheetsof plastic. Elsa rolled from rail to rail. While wrestlingwith the main, I stepped on the aluminum boat hook onthe cabin house deck, slipped and kicked it over the side,but stayed aboard. Finally, we got squared away andheaded into the harbor.We managed to pick up my favorite mooring off Smut-

tynose Island, despite the lack of a boat hook. Loosenedup an hour later by some great Venezuelan sipping rum,the First Officer queried the Captain. Well, sort of. “I waswondering out there,” my friend said, “when you were go-ing to drop the main.” Me, too.Epilogue:Exactly two weeks later – and I’m notmak-

ing this up – I was returning alone from Maine andpicked up the same mooring off Smuttynose Island, wasdrinking the remains of the same Venezuelan rum, andthinking about the mainsail incident. I glanced out to-ward the ledge I’d worried about in the squall, just as a30-foot sloop sailed right up on it. Climbing into thedinghy to see if I could help, I heard a metal bump on mylittle pram’s hull. It was an aluminum boat hook, nearlyidentical to the one I’d lost two weeks earlier. I picked itup. The decal said it was made in Saint Paul, Minnesota,where I used to live. Weird things happen to me at the Isles of Shoals.Dave Roper’s new book, “Watching for Mermaids,”

GUEST PERSPECTIVE/Brud Folger

I almost missed my birthday

As the gentle puffs of water-filled exhaust from thesturdy old two-cylinder Volvo Penta faded in thegrowing distance I felt sorry I wasn’t aboard. I

was standing on the busy town dock in Owls Head Har-bor while Blue Vayu, the distinctive bathtub-shaped, 32-foot Swedish-built Vindo sloop, left me behind. My two daughters had come north to Maine from

bustling big cities – Washington, D.C., for Phoebe, andNew York for Hilary. They were not only here to sail withmy friend Linda and me but, more importantly, to cele-brate my birthday. They both had showed up wearing T-shirts proudly pronouncing – in bold, blue letters – Bornin Maine, Living in Exile. I could see the three of them topside, loosening the blue

sail ties holding the new Pope mainsail I’d helped rig theday before. A few puffy cumulous clouds dotted an azure-blue sky that touched the gentle rolling sea just abovethe Muscle Ridge islands. I heard them cut the engine asthey slid by the sturdy lobsterboats in Owls Head Harborand saw the main billow to port as they picked up thesouthwesterly breeze on its way from west to east up theMuscle Ridge Channel.

All three had been disappointed that I had to stay andwork in Owls Head, and I was sad not to be with them,but knew my job would ultimately bring a happy endingfor all of us. Job? Some question if I’ve ever consideredmy employment a job, and look forward to it every day. Iam an airplane pilot for Penobscot Island Air, the littleairline that has served the islands in Penobscot Bay andbeyond under one name or another for 40 years or more.Some of the islands I fly to are Swans, Vinalhaven, NorthHaven, Islesboro, Bar Harbor, Big Green, Matinicus andCriehaven. Some of the more senior folks who flew to the islands

in the good-old days speak fondly of Arthur Harjula,Charlie and Herb Jones, Clint and Hannah Demmons.The flying service is based at Knox County Regional Air-port in Owls Head, and is presently owned and operatedby Kevin Waters. I have been flying with the island airservice for 10 years now, and have enjoyed the flying, theaerial view of the best sailing bay in the world, and, mostof all, the passengers. But right now, my lunch break wasabout over and it was almost time to get back to work. I walked slowly to my car, still wishing I could be on

the Blue Vayu with Linda, Phoebe and Hilary. Afterdriving out of the gravel parking lot – filled to over-flowing with pickup trucks from all the lobstermenwho were out hauling – I made a right turn down thewinding road toward Owls Head Light. Climbing thewooden stairs to the freshly painted lighthouse, I mar-veled at the breathtaking view of Penobscot Bay andthe spruce-covered northeastern point of the MuscleRidge Channel. Blue Vayu, bucking the current, cameinto view, the new 135 genoa and mainsail full, sailingwing-and-wing. The full sails steadily powered theboat past the brightly painted lobster buoys and therock-bound head of Monroe Island. I watched as theyslowly sheeted in the main, carefully jibed it over, andeased off to a heading that would put them on a broadreach toward Pulpit Harbor, on the northern shore ofNorth Haven. I hurried back to the airport, parked my car at the

terminal, walked into the bustling office of PenobscotIsland Air and spoke with Jim Nichols, the jovial com-pany dispatcher, about my next flight. He quicklyhanded me my dispatch slip for a flight to Matinicus.I would be flying one of the company’s five airplanes,taking two sailors who were joining a boat for a cruiseand one of the lobstermen who worked on the island.The Maine State Ferry Service makes only two trips amonth to Matinicus, so many visitors take the 12-minute flight with PIA. Jim told me this would be my last flight of the day,

that Jerry Blandford, another pilot, would fly with meto fly the airplane back to Owls Head after leaving meat Witherspoon’s airport on North Haven, where I’djoin Blue Vayu. The Matinicus flight took us southerlyfrom Owls Head, over the Muscle Ridge and Two BushIsland Lighthouse, a beacon to mariners boundDowneast. “Keep me to port, and I will keep you off the

rocky ledges and granite shores of the islands behindme,” the proud, old light flashed. We flew on over Little and Large Green islands, flat,

grass-covered pancakes, treeless but sanctuary toseabirds that nest on them. At Matinicus, we landeduphill on the rocky runway, with sea spray from thecrashing waves blown onto its end. The runway runsfrom the rocks on the shore 1,700 feet uphill to its farend, which is guarded by a small shed with a sign pro-claiming you’ve arrival at Matinicus International Air-port. Our passengers deplaned, collected their baggage,

shook our hands like old friends, and the sailorsthanked us for what they called the most spectacularflight they’d ever experienced. Jerry and I taxied outfor takeoff and the 10- minute flight from Matinicusto North Haven. After passing over Hurricane Island, the White Is-

lands, Leadbetter Point, and Fox Island Throfare, wemade our downwind approach for a landing into With-erspoon’s Airport. I could see the Blue Vayumoored se-curely in Pulput Harbor close to the three-mastedschooner Victory Chimes. From my bird’s-eye view, Icounted 32 other boats of various shapes and sizes, all

nosed into the gentle breeze rippling the water in theharbor. I knew the women on the Blue Vayu had heardthe plane as we passed overhead because they wereall waving excitedly. By now, Linda had told my daughters their dad

would be flown into North Haven, and they wouldhave an island birthday party for me. Linda had madereservations for birthday dinner at Brown’s CoalWharf restaurant on Fox Island Thorofare, next to theferry terminal. I lined the plane up with the 900-footgrass runway, guided it to a landing, and braked to astop close to the road, next to the North Haven Grangebuilding. Dick and Janet Witherspoon, owners of therunway, waved a cheery hello from their back porchoverlooking their “airport.” Jerry helped me unload my small bag, got into the

pilot’s seat, and taxied for takeoff. I started the shortwalk from the airport to Pulpit Harbor and was methalfway there by Phoebe, Hilary and Linda, who hadtaken the dinghy into the wharf and started walkingto meet me. My birthday was almost complete, thanksto the flying service. That night I blew out the candles,and went to sleep content and looking forward to sail-ing the next day.

The bright-orange morning sun rose early with abrilliant shaft of light coming through the galley port,straight into my eyes. The wide double berth was soonconverted into the dining-room table, while Phoebeand Hilary still snuggled in their sleeping bags in theV-berth forward. Linda brewed coffee on the alcoholstove, and soon the gentle aroma drifted forward toawaken the sleeping daughters. Bacon, scrambledeggs, and toasted English muffins were the order ofthe morning to get us ready for the day of sailingahead. As I sat at the table reflecting on the day before, I

thought of the number of times I had flown crewmem-bers, boat owners, mechanics and others to meet aboat, return from a cruise, travel to make repairs, goto pick up a new boat, and numerous other reasons totravel easily, safely and quickly to or from an island.The air service now has an amphibious Cessna Cara-van that can land next to an oceanfront home, a boat

or a dock. Yesterday, I had been the recipient of thiswonderful flying service, and it made my birthday asuccess.We hoisted the main in a light breeze, dropped the

mooring, and headed northeast toward Oak Hill andthe Watson estate, leaving behind the field thatCharles Lindbergh flew into to court Ms. Ann Morrowin another time. Although my flight did not rival Lind-bergh’s epoch, daughters Phoebe and Hilary will al-ways remember the day Penobscot Island Air made itpossible for their dad to fly to the sailing birthdayparty, when he almost missed the boat.

Fall-foliage cruise on Spray

Captain Slocum came to mind again last Fall,probably because I had been given a ratherunusual boat-delivery job by a yacht broker

friend. I was to bring a Bruce Roberts Spray up theTaunton River, in Massachusetts, from a marina inMount Hope Bay to a boatyard in Dighton, whereshe would be hauled out for the season. She had justbeen sold. It would be the second time in the seasonI had delivered this same boat from one place to an-other for this particular friend and customer.Bruce Roberts-Goodson is a well-known yacht de-

signer in the United Kingdom who has designed andbuilt many boats inspired by Capt. Joshua Slocum’soriginal Spray, a derelict oyster dredge similar tothe few remaining antique wooden skipjacks onChesapeake Bay today. Slocum rebuilt Spray andsailed her around the world in 1895, becoming thefirst person to ever circumnavigate the globe single-handedly. His subsequent account, “Sailing AloneAround the World,” became a heartwarming classic.But Slocum’s Spray was really a workboat for oys-

ter fishing, sloop-rigged, shoal draft, impossibly

beamy (14 feet, two inches). The design is not par-ticularly fast, in my opinion, but the boats are roomybelow and good for living aboard or extended cruis-ing. The shallow draft is great for going into baysand rivers, but for blue-water sailing, experts dis-agree. Roberts referred to Spray as “the ultimatecruising boat,” which is extremely helpful if you areselling Spray-inspired designs. But famed (and con-troversial) naval historian and architect HowardChappelle pronounced Spray a horrible boat for go-ing offshore and went so far as to say that the onlyreason that Slocum and Spray stayed “on top” for solong was because Slocum was an extraordinarymariner. (Editor’s note: As a counterpoint, formerRhode Islander Guy Bernardin, a renowned soloracer, with his wife and 3-year-old son, happily cir-cumnavigated the world in a Spray replica, retrac-ing Slocum’s route in the 1990s.) Some years ago – when I was younger, more ideal-

istic, purist, and clueless – I had the shameless au-dacity to tell Mr. Roberts-Goodson at a SlocumSociety meeting that his Spray designs were hardly

Sprays at all, with hulls made of fiberglass, muchlonger hulls than Slocum’s 36-foot, nine-inch LOASpray, and with different cabin layouts, etc., whichreddened his face considerably and made his facialhairs twitch. It was wrong of me to be so impertinent, of course. In-

deed, the 33-foot Spray thatI was now taking upriver –motoring, by the way, intothe teeth of a cold northwest-erly Autumn blow – had lit-tle in common, it seemed atfirst, with Joshua Slocum’sfamous vessel. But then, as Ionce again felt the sluggishmass of her barn-heavy hullbeneath my feet, as Deniseand I chugged along, I enter-tained the possibility thatperhaps it had more in com-mon with Slocum’s dredgethan I had initially thought.Two months earlier, my

broker friend had first hiredme to bring this boat aroundto the marina when he hadpurchased it outright from its previous owner. That de-livery began on a mooring in the Warren River, a dis-

tance of about 12 miles from where she was now tied tothe dock, awaiting the next leg of her journey. My sonTom and I brought her around from Warren that firsttime, and slow going it was. The bottom was foul, and the three-blade propeller

was a barnacle-muffin. When the wind piped up, withthe genoa out full, we man-aged four knots with thehelp of a one-knot current.An interminable voyage,akin to trying to sail a ce-ment barge across a sea ofmolasses with a handker-chief for a sail. Now, the situation was

different. She had beenhauled and cleaned and re-turned to the water. It waslate October, with a blus-tery northwest wind pip-ing up to 25 knots.Whitecaps were on MountHope Bay. It was bright,sunny, and almost cold, andthe leaves in the treesalong the shore, past fo-

liage peak, were brilliant yellows, reds, and brown,mostly golden.

At first, the 33-foot Spray I was now taking upriver into theteeth of a cold northwesterly autumn blow seemed to havelittle in common with Joshua Slocum’s famous vessel.

The boat had been built in England in the 1970s or’80s. Heavy and strong, stable and beamy, she alsotherefore possessed much inertia: Once she got wayon her, she kept going. I had no trouble getting offthe dock and out of the shelter of the breakwaterand into the blustery bay, but unlike the originalSpray, this boat was afflicted with a large tiller. Ihate tillers on all but small sailboats. In a large boatthey obstruct the cockpit, and they are tiring for anypassage lasting more than an hour or two. In any event, now under way, we were about to en-

counter our first and only real obstacle, the Bright-man Street Bridge across the Taunton River. Thisiron drawbridge was built in 1908, the same yearJoshua Slocum disappeared at sea. I do not know ifSlocum ever sailed his Spray up the Taunton River.He might have, although there would have beennothing up there for him to see or do. The bridge is low, and I had known in advance

that it would have to open for us. I did my homeworkbeforehand and learned that the bridge keeper mon-itors VHF channels 16 and 13. I tried him on bothas we approached the bridge. No answer. Again. Noanswer. The tidal current was with us, surging us to-ward the bridge. Fortunately, I had obtained the telephone number

for the keeper’s station on the bridge. I gave my wifeDenise the number, and she called on her cell phone

(I was busy managing the stubborn tiller), and heanswered the phone. He apologized; he’d had theVHF radio volume turned way down. I silently won-dered why. Perhaps so that the occasional cracklewould not interrupt the midday soap opera on hisportable TV, I imagined. He asked Denise what the name of our boat was.

Denise looked up, and asked, “What’s our boat’sname?” I thought for a moment. I had not looked at the

transom before leaving the dock. “Spray,” I replied,which she relayed. “OK, Spray” he responded, and the bridge began

to open.Later at the dock in Dighton, Denise saw that the

boat’s name was the Cyndi Jo or something likethat. She couldn’t believe that she had given a fakename to the bridge operator. “We had to tell himsomething,” I said, “He only wanted a name so thathe could put it into his log.“It was all I could think of at the moment,” I told

her, “And it wasn’t completely a lie.”Our little trip, with the incoming tide, took us

much less time than expected. We sailed past lovely,quaint Somerset Village, a well-kept secret, and nar-rowing riverbanks lined with tall, yellowing eelgrass

and colorful trees shedding their leaves under adeep sapphire sky. We had left a car at the destination boatyard in

Dighton, so once we had the boat secured to the float-ing dock, with ample fenders and springlines set, wereluctantly said good-bye to her. That’s one of thegreatest perks of the delivery-captain business; youget a few hours to cruise on someone else’s boat, per-haps on a lovely day, up a river, call it even a ‘fall fo-liage cruise,’ and you get paid for it all. Denise had packed a picnic lunch, including two per-

sonal-sized bottles of wine for after we’d tied up, andwe toasted the day, the trip, the autumn, the bitter-sweet end of the boating season in New England. Be-fore we left the yard, I checked things out below, tomake sure that the breakers were off, there was no wa-ter in the bilge, and nothing unusual was going on. Itwas quiet, late-afternoon golden sun slanting inthrough the cabin portlights, ripples lapping dullyagainst the hull, slap-slap of a loose halyard some-where above. I peered into the darkness at the starboard quarter-

berth and chuckled as I remembered a Joshua Slocumexhibit I’d attended at the Whaling Museum in NewBedford. There had been a half-cabin life-size mock-upof Slocum’s aft cabin, complete with a bookshelf, his

Martini-Henry rifle mounted on the bulkhead, and abunk with a straw-filled mattress, thin, covered withwhite and blue-striped old-fashioned mattress ticking.It had been re-created from Slocum’s own drawingsand the illustrations in Sailing Alone.I could not help myself. No others besides my friends

and I were there, so I ducked under the ropes, ignoredthe signs, and climbed into the berth, spending a fewmoments in Joshua Slocum’s bunk, much to their as-tonishment. For a moment or two, that was as close tobeing Captain Slocum as I would ever get. Now, as I looked around at this unkempt cabin in

need of real sprucing-up, I wished the old girl good for-tune, new life, and many safe sea miles in her future,and I wished much luck and perseverance to her newowner, whoever he or she might be. Then it was time,reluctantly, to go.

NewsIf you’re planning a coastal transit or an offshore

passage in November, December or January, con-tribute to the “SeaBC” Sea Bird Count. The SeaBC wascreated to raise awareness among long-distance cruis-ers from around the world to record their seabird ob-servations. Research projects such as migration and nesting, cli-

mate change, and beach erosion are improved and ac-celerated by including a larger observation anddata-gathering pool. Last year’s inaugural countspanned 100 degrees of latitude, from Maine toAntarctica. This year they’re encouraging mariners totake digital photos of birds seen at sea. Instructions and tally sheets are available at

http://tinyurl.com/SeaBC, or at facebook.com/Bird-ing.Aboard, where you also can share your pho-tographs and sightings with other birders in transit.All data goes to Cornell University’s eBird database(www.eBird.org), a worldwide resource for scientistsand conservation groups.The SeaBC is a citizen science project organized by

eight long-distance birdwatching voyagers fromaround the world: Diana Doyle on Semi-Local, founderand coordinator (U.S.); Jeanne Socrates on Nereida,advisory board (Great Britain); Beth Leonard onHawk, advisory board (U.S.;) Katharine Lowrie onLista Light, advisory board (Great Britain); BrendaFree on Willow, advisory board (U.S.); Wendy Clarke

The Coast Guard is calling at-tention to the dangers and risks ofhoax distress calls after launchingair and boat crews to respond to aradio transition of a child’s voicemaking a mayday call late lastsummer. The call was made in mid-July, with no position or nature ofdistress, and was received off aRescue-21 communication tower,part of a system of radio towersand computer software along theU.S. coast that helps determine thelocation of vessels by radio trans-mission. The location was nar-rowed down to potential nearPortsmouth, R.I., in NarragansettBay.An Air Station Cape Cod, Mass.,

Additionally, the Narra-gansett Bay strike force, a first ofits kind mutual aid program be-tween all the fire departments onNarragansett Bay, were notifiedand launched boats from Warwick,Portsmouth and Providence firedepartments. Each asset searchedfor more than one hour, investinga total of more than five hours ofresponse time and found no vesselsor people in distress. The Coast Guard believes this

call was a false distress caused bya child playing on the radio. Thiswas the fourth false distress call inthe southeastern New England inthe previous month. False alertsand hoax calls unnecessarily putfirst responders in danger, andwaste valuable operational hoursand cost.

Summer 2012 is officially behind us, and what asatisfying season it was: No hurricanes, no trop-ical storms, just steady breezes with blue skies

and billowing cumulous clouds. High fuel prices mayhave curtailed powerboat cruising, but, man, did themotorboaters enjoy their craft at dockside between dayand weekend sorties!And much was accomplished to bring us all together

in friendship and compassion on the waters betweenManhattan and the Maritimes, which you’ll read

about in the following pages. For example, 18 Pales-tinian, Israeli and American youngsters sailed in har-mony aboard the Spirit of Massachusetts, fromPortland, Maine, to New York City, “walking in eachother’s seaboots” in a spirit of empathy. We gatheredat such harbors as Padanarum, Mass., and Friendship,Maine, to dust off competitive skills in small, amicableevents like the Stone Horse Builder’s Cup & Ren-dezvous, and the Friendship Chowder Cup, in whichthe last boat to finish gets her name on the prize. In-deed, we have many warm and rich memories to fuelus up to spring 2013.

Seas of Peace brings together Middle Eastern andAmerican youth for a summer of sailing and conflict-resolution training. As they sail nearly 1,000 miles to-gether, these young people must work together, acrossthe borders of war, to arrive safely in the next port.

In 2012, 18 youngsters sailed about the tradition-ally rigged schooner, Spirit of Massachusetts,from Portland, Maine, to New York City, before

heading northeast to end their cruise in Boston. “Togo a mile in someone else’s shoes teaches empathy.Our students sail 1,000 miles together. By the end ofthe voyage, we are family,” observes David Nutt, 25. Or something more powerful than family – ship-

mates. Living and working on a watch schedule re-inforces a new set of priorities before one’s self. Andwhen the wind picks up at 0300 – all hands need tobe on deck and alert to help reef mainsail.Social entrepreneurs and youth leaders Monica Bal-anoff, 24, and David Nutt smiled as they stepped offthe schooner and finished a second summer of Seasof Peace, a groundbreaking sailing and conflict-reso-lution program they founded and run. After a year ofplanning and fundraising, the voyage was over, “al-though our students’ real work of being change-mak-ers at home is just beginning,” Nutt said.Seas of Peace uses sail training and the secluded

nature of life at sea to foster empathy, teamwork, cul-

tural awareness, and intellectual curiosity amongyouth from the Middle East and the United States.Started in 2011, Seas of Peace has grown to accommo-date 18 students. “Seeing the program be-

come a reality has been in-credibly rewarding,” saysBalanoff. “More importantly,those who participated inSeas of Peace have describedthe program as the experi-ence of a lifetime that hasthe power to change the livesand minds of many.” During their time at Seas

of Peace, the students dis-cuss who they are, wherethey come from, and howconflict has affected theirlives. “In choosing an envi-ronment as isolated as a sail-ing ship,” Nutt adds, “theprogram challenges the stu-dents to truly engage with one another, offering themno choice with whom they interact. These interactionsare essential to understanding and feeling under-stood.” Beyond sailing, students spent a minimum of three

hours per day in leadership and conflict-resolution ses-sions facilitated by Seas of Peace staff members. Everyother waking hour features collaborative work andcommunity life. The leadership dialogue is based onthe frameworks of three Harvard University leader-ship models – Dignity, Adaptive Leadership, and Im-munity to Change – and is designed and implementedby two facilitators who previously taught these con-cepts at the graduate-school level. Seas of Peace’s pio-

neer summer was the first time these concepts hadbeen introduced to adolescents in the context of con-flict resolution.Speaking after the pioneer session in 2011, one of

the students remarked, “Atthe end of my experience atSeas, I shared with my fa-cilitators that I felt therewas an important differ-ence between a completedvoyage and a successfulone. It was the differencebetween the [ship] carrying15 kids into Boston, andthe Spirit being sailed by15 seeds into Boston. Andfor anyone who has notsailed on a schooner, it is noeasy task. It requires un-wavering trust in others,the ability to lead when it isrequired, and the maturityto follow.”

Both Nutt and Balanoff completed circumnaviga-tions in sailboats at early ages. Nutt grew up sailingin his home state of Maine, and spent six years circum-navigating with his family during his teenage years.Balanoff began sailing as a teenager. She completed acircumnavigation at age 17, with the high-school pro-gram, Class Afloat.“Politicians might make treaties, but it is people who

make peace,” says Balanoff. “Seas of Peace offers hopeand a sense of possibility for a generation that willsoon be leading their respective countries.” FMI:www.seasofpeace.org.

day, was rescheduled to Sundaydue to weather concerns. Severalskippers encountered a rough pas-sage to Padanaram on Friday, Aug.10. Equuleus, Hull #061, in transitfrom Bristol, R.I., sustained dam-age off Gooseberry Neck withwinds of 35-40 mph and tornadowarnings across the region. Equ-uleus, skippered by Bob Millar ofBarrington, R.I., finally reachedPadanaram at 2100, when Boband his crew, Vince Mor and DanZussman, came in under staysailonly with limited maneuverability. The post-race rendezvous and cookout was on Sat-

urday at the home of Tom and Ann Kenney. John Wu-jack, owner of Kittiwake, Hull #122 out of theStillwater Yacht Club in Pebble Beach, Calif., sent avery generous donation to provide a “little somethingextra,” as did Dave Kane of Newport, R.I., owner ofAble, Hull #101, the 2011 Builder’s Cup winner.

When Aug. 4, the day of the annual ChowderCup race, dawned, it did not look as thoughany boat was going to have a snappy sail.

Winds were initially light and fluky for the 33 boatsthat showed up to participate in this event. The Chowder Cup was so named because the Last

Boat In receives a can of fish chowder as a consolationprize as well as the boat’s name engraved on the Tim-othy Pickering LBI Memorial Trophy. Class A (28 feetand over) and B (18 to 28 feet) race together, whileClass C (18 feet and under) sails an abbreviatedcourse.The first leg of the A-B race, generally a beat to the

first mark at Black Island, this year was a straightshot because the prevailing wind came from the southinstead of the usual southwest. As our valiant Caledo-nian does not point well, this was a great relief to herskipper and me. For once, we found ourselves in thefirst half of the fleet – at least until the first mark.Then we resumed our usual place, exerting maximumeffort to fend off receiving the can of chowder.Round Ponders Paul Cunningham and his sons, Will

and Toph, dominated the A-B race with Paul’s J/30

Sokota finishes last – but hername will be on Chowder Cup The winning boat in

the A-B race was theJ/24 Strega, skip-pered by Will andToph Cunningham.

Lickity Split coming in 2nd to his sons’ J/24 Strega, theoverall winner. Paul was effusive in his praise of Willand Toph’s spinnaker work, which brought their craftin almost 10 minutes ahead of their father. Paul con-fessed to having put his boat in only the day before (“Ihad the cleanest bottom in Muscongus Bay”) and notbeing totally sure he had rigged her correctly, but ap-parently he had.

The Last Boat In award was hotly disputed amongat least three boats, but finally went to Joel Wessel andhis 26-foot cutter Sokota. As he and his crew had majortrouble getting enough wind to go around the firstmark, the committee boat finally took up the mark andbrought it to them. “We cheated, we cheated,” Joel in-sisted, “We are disqualified.” But the race committeedecided that they were the ones to disqualify a boat –

lated by Ken Dunipace, 1st place inthe A class went to 110-year-oldFriendship sloop Gladiator, skip-pered by Bill Hallstein, while Philand Deborah McKean’s 25-footsloop Deborah Ann took the awardin the B class. Class C did not think this was a

light-wind race: Velocity increasedmarkedly near the end of theircourse, with strong gusts that putskippers and crew through theirpaces. Peter van Walsum praisedhis winning craft’s performance,but observed, “The Mobjack pro-vides swift sailing, but she requiressome real effort in return. Whilewe managed to prevail with onlysome benign gunwale washing, the 420 on our tail cap-sized twice and lost her place to a pursuing catboat.”Hats off, once again, to the enduring design of theFriendship Cats.The T-shirts this year were designed by Jessica

by him and his brother, boatbuilder Wesley Lash. Thiswas raffled off and raised over $400, all of which is do-nated to a scholarship fund for a graduating highschool senior from Friendship. The winner was TimPickering.Each year there are wonderful stories that come out

of this race and its devoted participants. This year cen-ter stage belonged to John and Tim Pickering’s newboat, Swallow. According to John, they had bought thedouble-ender last year, but had not sailed her untilthis summer. Designed by L. Francis Herreshoff, sheis of the Rozinante class, named for Don Quixote’shorse (which is actually spelled “Rocinante”), and waslaunched about 1962. Neither John nor Tim had anyidea of how fast she was, and were stunned when theycame in 2nd in class A. Swallow’s predecessor had been the venerable 30-

foot ketch Pippa, which their father for years proudlysailed to last place (hence the Timothy Pickering LBIMemorial Trophy). As a matter of fact, she had beenso slow in rounding the first mark in 2005 that thecommittee boat that year upped and brought it tothem, just as with Sokota.What had happened to Pippa I asked John? When

Wesley Lash looked at her rotting bottom last fall, heseriously advised Tim and John not to sail her anylonger. They sold her for $1 to fellow Friendship resi-dent Gary Lehy, who, in turn, sold her to a man in

Bowdoinham, not to sail, but to be parked in his frontyard as a spare bedroom. Tim Sr. would not have been happy with that end,

but John and I agreed that he would have loved Swal-low. Please join us next year on Aug. 3, 20-13 for an-other Chowder Cup race.

shots carving up Narragansett Bay waters in J/22s.But one of the more popular celebrations in the City

by the Sea – appealing not only to those who sail, butalso to artists, historians, romantics, and those whohave read the adventures of Conrad, Bligh, Shackle-ton, and Melville – is any festival involving the TallShips. The 2012 Ocean State Tall Ships Festival July6-9 drew crowds of people, who walked up gangplanks,snapped photos from the shore, and circled NewportHarbor in their boats while enjoying near perfect sum-mer weather.“Tall Ships” are usually defined as large, tradition-

ally rigged sailing vessels. The name is thought tohave originated in John Masefield’s evocative poem,“Sea Fever.” The sight of these large and majestic sail-ing vessels takes one back to the time when the watersaround present-day Newport only sheltered Tall Shipspropelled by the wind. Verrazzano explored the areawith his little caravel in 1524; swift ships – owned bythe likes of some of Rhode Island’s Brown brothers –unloaded goods from Europe and China at localwharves along with the sad human cargo that waspart of the nefarious Triangle Trade. Aquidneck Island waters were also traversed by the

British revenue cutter, Gaspee, which met its demiseup the bay, as one of the first Crown ships to be de-stroyed in the years leading up to the Revolutionary

War. The French sailing fleet under Admiral comted’Estaing, so instrumental in the ultimate defeat ofthe British, anchored in areas of Newport Harbor nowoccupied by moorings for recreational boaters, long-range cruisers and occasionally some of today’s largerTall Ships.We cannot go back in time to witness the Golden Age

of Sailing. However, we could get a pretty good idea ofwhat things were like, in another era, aboard ocean-going vessels engaged in exploration, naval operationsand commercial trade. We could do this by visiting theTall Ships that came to Newport as part of the TallShips Challenge Festival that commemorated the bi-centennial of the War of 1812.The Tall Ships Challenge was organized by New-

port-based Tall Ships America (TSA). This year theraces began in Savannah, then proceeded toCharleston, and Greenport, Long Island, before com-ing to Newport, which hosted 13 boats and their crews.The Tall Ships gatherings cycle from the Atlantic coastto the Great Lakes, and then on to the Pacific coast insuccessive years.Hosting such a complex event is a monumental re-

sponsibility for the local community as well as for TallShips America. The details associated with berthing,directing tourists, parking, shuttles, receptions, provi-sioning, vendors, and so on, present a formidable chal-

lenge, one that was dealtwith successfully accordingto many in attendance. Darlene Godin, office

manager and Gal 24/7 forTSA, related how earlyplanning even included dis-cussions about how theships were to be spacedaround the Newport water-front to mitigate congestionand to allow tourists to seeseveral parts of the city andsample Newport’s array ofshops, restaurants and his-toric sites.There are those who love

Tall Ships purely for whatthey are: magnificent ma-chines, technological mar-vels in their own way, andamong the most aesthetically pleasing of all of Man’screations. And there are those who love them becausethey are vehicles for carrying out specific missions. For example, naval training takes place aboard the

Coast Guard Academy’s Eagle and the U.S. MerchantMarine Academy’s Summerwind, which both teach se-

rious offshore seamanshipas well as self-reliance.Pride of Baltimore toutsMaryland’s maritime her-itage at the ports she vis-its. The Oliver HazardPerry, Rhode Island’s flag-ship currently under con-struction at Quonset Point,will have full lab facilities,classrooms, and inter-changeable lab van mod-ules for educating middleschool through college stu-dents about bays, estuariesand oceans.Looking over Newport

Harbor, Jamie Trost, skip-per of Pride of Baltimore,remarked: “It was just agreat pleasure to sail from

the sailing Mecca of the Middle Atlantic States to thissailing Mecca of the Northeast.” His chief mate, SarahWhittam of Canton, Md., said how proud and happyshe was to be one of Maryland’s seagoing ambas-sadors, and how she reveled in the idea that “everysingle day aboard ship is different and rewarding in

its own way.”Peacemaker was built on the shores of a Brazilian

river by an Italian family that used tropical hard-woods and traditional marine-construction methods.The 150-foot vessel has a mission of promoting peacewith both our Creator and one another. It also providesopportunities for young people to learn practical nav-igation, sailing, seamanship and ship maintenance. Itis operated by the Twelve Tribes religious communityand is home-ported in Savannah. Zakar Mueller has been the chief engineer aboard

Peacemaker since 2004. “My job is to keep everythingworking on Peacemakerwithout anybody noticing thatI am doing it,” he said. His various skills allow him tomaintain and repair auxiliary engines, rebuild gener-ators or even fabricate new spars out of assorted sparepieces of lumber like he had to do when a vicioussquall wreaked havoc on the rigging. The 110-foot Unicorn, berthed at Newport Yacht

Club, has one unusual trait: an all women crew. It ishome to the well-regarded program called Sisters Un-der Sail, which has a mission of building confidenceand enhancing self-esteem while developing a socialconscience and teaching the benefit of teamworkthrough sail training. Says Sisters executive director, Dawn Santamaria,

“We run all women all the time.” One of the truly in-

novative programs aboard Unicorn this summer is onethat recruited the daughters of deployed military per-sonnel and provided them with an expenses-paid ex-perience. According to Dawn, “The character, workethic and tenacity of these youngsters were truly re-markable.”To keep the young women fully engaged during

their seagoing experience, all cell phones are takenaway from them upon boarding the ship. The youngsailors are often taken out of their comfort zones bysuch challenges as climbing high into the rigging. Ofthe various experiences Julianne Sitler of Cranford,N.J., said, “We learn a lot of things here – a lot of themeven more important than sailing.”Every ship in Newport had its own story, and visi-

tors were educated and enchanted by what they saw,heard and felt as they trod the decks and exchangedgreetings with the crews.The Ocean State Tall Ships visit culminated in a pa-

rade of sail that took the fleet from the inner harbor,under the Pell Bridge to Gould Island, and then backunder the bridge to Rhode Island Sound. The shipsthen set sail for the final leg of the Tall Ships Chal-lenge, which would bring them to Halifax, Nova Scotia,on July 18.

Enjoying another summer of incomparableMaine weather, 77 young sailors, ages 9 to 15,advanced their sailing and seamanship skills

this summer in Tenants Harbor, celebrating the 12thyear of the St. George Community Sailing Foundation.Operating for a fourth year from Blueberry Cove

Camp, a part of the Tanglewood 4-H Camp and Learn-ing Center, in Lincolnville, Maine, and the Universityof Maine Extension System, the foundation again of-fered six weeks of instruction, from July 9 through Au-gust 17, split into three two-week sessions. Beginningand younger sailors worked the waters of TenantsHarbor in the mornings from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, whilethe older and more advanced juniors fine-tuned theirracing skills and learned more about seamanship andnavigation from 1 to 4 p.m. The instruction team was headed by Will Gibney, a

senior at Bates College and resident of New York City,and he was assisted by Henry Birdsey, of Ripton, Vt.;Jaime de Benito, of Santander, Spain; Cam Ruffle-Deignan, of Winchester, Mass.; and Jack Hupper, ofConcord, Mass., all graduates of the program.The juniors sailed and raced in the foundation’s 12

The non-profit organization Oliver Hazard PerryRhode Island (OHPRI) helped six Rhode Islandeducators become students again this summer

during a five-day education-at-sea voyage fromPhiladelphia, to Newport, R.I., aboard the 177-foot tallship Gazela. The learning experience in the floating classroom

served as a prelude to theeducational programsthat will be offered onRhode Island’s officialsailing education vessel,the SSV Oliver HazardPerry. She will be commis-sioned in 2013 as a 196-foot, 13½ story,fully-rigged tall ship. Theseagoing teachers repre-sented Salve Regina Uni-versity (Newport), PaulCuffee School (Provi-dence), Chariho RegionalSchool District (SouthernRhode Island), TheGreene School (WestGreenwich), and Toll GateHigh School (Warwick). “We wanted to provide

an opportunity for theseteachers, professors andadministrators to experi-ence the powerful class-room experience createdon the deck of a ship,” saidOHPRI’s education direc-tor Jessica Wurzbacher ofJamestown, R.I., who overthe past 10 years haslogged over 40,000 milesteaching high-school andcollege-level programsaboard schooners. “The experience is hard to explain;you need to be there and do it, and that’s exactly whatthey did: standing watch under the stars at 3 a.m.,climbing the rigging to furl the sails, and helping tokeep the ship and crew safe and secure. Their new pas-sion is now being channeled to their schools, and totheir students, as we continue to develop our pro-grams.”Wurzbacher added that the educators were assigned

homework after the trip had wrapped up: to come upwith lesson plans that combined experience-based ed-ucation with their specific subject of learning.

“We are moving from receiving information fromOHPRI to now saying, ‘how can we make shape to it?’”said Dr. Kathy Vespia, from East Greenwich, assistantprofessor and chair of the Education Program at SalveRegina University. “We are now in the proposal devel-opment phase and working with Jessica to add meatto the bones.” Vespia added that Salve University is

exploring ways for stu-dents, in undergraduateand continuing-educationprograms, to participatein classes aboard thePerry to receive credit.“For example, our Salve

students who are going tobecome teachers throughour pre-teacher trainingprogram need to be pre-pared to provide uniqueexperiences and motivatetheir students to be teammembers,” said Vespia.“Aboard a Tall Ship, per-sonal needs get put aside,so if you’re thirsty andsomeone says ‘all handson deck,’ you hold off yourthirst and get thingsdone. It doesn’t connectuntil you really put yourhands on it.”And hands-on experi-

ence is exactly what wasreceived by each of theadult educators aboardGazela, including MattHodge of Warwick, whoteaches history at TollGate High School. “I see alot of connections I canmake,” said Hodge. “I’ve

been talking to my students about the history of Nar-ragansett Bay and the history of the maritime indus-try. Sailing is what led to much of the interaction ofthe world – from navigation and naval warfare to whycivilizations are situated where they are. Those are thethings that I like to explore.” Hodge added that after such incredible results from

his experience, he also sees opportunities for profes-sional-development programs for adults aboard thePerry, a vision shared by Jamestown’s Michelle Bush,associate principal and special educator at Paul CuffeeSchool.

“Students are often faced with

things they don’t know anythingabout, which can be very intimidat-ing,” said Bush. “As a teacher andan administrator, I know what I’mdoing when I’m telling other peoplewhat to do. It’s good to step backand be the one that doesn’t have aclue and has to figure it out.”Bush added that she sees her

school using this education plat-form for a variety of different sub-jects: “There was a lot of problemsolving and math involved on-board. For example, the angles wehave to measure, how far off cer-tain boats are when we’re on watchor on lookout, and even the degreesyou are turning when you’re at thehelm.” The Greene School’s math

teacher, Adam Cherko of NorthKingstown, developed a new out-look on education-at-sea programsand the friendships that can beforged when working together as ateam in close quarters. “In any sit-uation, you always come in with aparticular expectation or a certainmindset, and even if you’re open tothings, you still have preconceivednotions,” said Cherko, adding that,right off the bat, Gazela’s Capt.Richard Bailey (who will eventu-ally command the Perry) cited therule of priorities aboard: ship first,shipmates second, self last. “At first, I wasn’t sure what it

would be like,” said Cherko, “work-ing alongside other teachers andcrew day-in and day-out, but by re-lying on somebody else to makesure that a rope doesn’t slip or yourhand doesn’t get caught, you de-velop such a relationship and alove for each other, which I didn’texpect in five days. I think it’s in-credible!” To view a video documentary of

A couple of records may have been established, orbroken – depending upon how one looks at it – at lastAugust’s Atlantic Nationals off Blue Hill, Maine. First,this was the largest one-design keelboat-racing eventever to have taken place in the Stateof Maine. Second, at 42 entrants, itcould also have been the largest At-lantic fleet to compete in their na-tional championship. The 30-footAtlantic was designed by StarlingBurgess in 1927.For a one-design class that has

been in existence 80-plus years, thisrepresents a remarkable endurancerecord, given that the Atlanticsseemed headed for the scrap heap ofextinction in the early 1950s, beforethey were saved by the advent of thefiberglass hull. Yet some of the highlights in this

year’s event may have occurred offthe water at the John Peters Inn,where there was good food, good mu-sic in convivial settings for everyoneat the end of each day. As for the wa-ter sports, they were beset by unchar-acteristically calm weather. However, there were only two days in the four-day

series when there was insufficient wind to race. On thefirst day, the race committee, under the disciplinedmanagement of race officer Ken Legler, managed tosqueeze in three races, and he shoehorned the fourthin on the second day, before the start of the first-ever

challenge for the new Burgess Trophy. That race tookthe fleet around Long Island in Blue Hill Bay.Norm Peck III, in Nonesuch, from the Niantic Bay

Yacht Club in Connecticut, part of an established At-lantic Class family, was this year’s champion. A num-ber of local boats placed well: Ben Wells, in Questra,

was 2nd; Terry Britton, in Thea, 3rd; Bill Barton inOne 4 All, 5th; and last year’s champion, Ian Evans,sailing Try Again, was 7th in a fleet of 42 boats. Onceagain the “Original Name” Award went to CharlesLangalis’ Atlantic number A-2, Brute. FMI: www.at-lanticclass.org.

Two Olympians and two Paralympians from NewEngland competed at the Games in Weymouth, Eng-land, this year. Points East went down to the dock tomeet them.

For three of them, drama and setbacks helped drivethem into competition. Paul Callahan from Newport,R.I., had the most dramatic entry: He broke his neckat Harvard College in 1981. Legs paralyzed and hands

Ideal sailing conditions – a 16- to 18-knotsouthwesterly breeze – allowed the 26 boatscompeting in the 2012 Ida Lewis Distance Race(ILDR), out of Newport, R.I., to power up onAug. 17, and provide a show for those whowatched them depart on their offshore adven-ture. The IRC, PHRF and PHRF Doublehandedfleets were sent on the 122-mile Nomanscourse, while the two boats racing in the PHRFCruising Spinnaker class took on the 103-mileBuzzards Tower course.

(Annapolis, Md.), the navigator on Catapult.“They made a very good decision in shorteningthe course to a 122-miler. It really allowed allof the IRC boats to race reasonably tightly, andthere was everything to the race without theextra 25 or 30 or 40 miles.” For their efforts,Catapult and crew collected the Ida Lewis Dis-tance Race Commodore’s Trophy for the IRCwin, along with the perpetual Russell L.

Owner Todd Stuart (KeyWest, Fla.) almost pulled out of the race when hethought he wouldn’t have enough crew. “We had agreat race; it was a lot of fun,” said Stuart after collect-ing the Lime Rock Trophy for the class win. “Westarted out fast, and the wind held up for us, and whenit’s windy our boat’s pretty quick – and I think we gotlucky.” The PHRF Doublehanded class was taken by Paul

Cronin (Jamestown, R.I.) and Jim Anderson on theQuest 30 Kincora, with the PHRF Cruising Spinnaker

Local skippers claim the overall at Marblehead’s NOOD RegattaAt long last favorable winds arrived for the final day

of the NOOD Regatta, resulting in the most action-packed day of the entire 123rd Annual MarbleheadRace Week. With each class completing multiple final-day races, Bight Me, from the Rhodes 19 class, exe-cuted masterful tactics on the Massachusetts Baycourse, secured the title of overall winner. Co-skipperswere Charlie Pendleton and Jim Raisides. “It’s been a long week with the weather not always

cooperating.” said the Marblehead-based skippers. “Wefaced a lot of depth and well-rounded crews and hadto overcome very stiff competition.”

As the overall winner in Marblehead, both skipperswill be invited to participate in the Sperry Top-SiderNOOD Championship Regatta in the British Virgin Is-lands aboard Sunsail 44i’s against the other overallwinners in the 2012 series.Also excelling in Marblehead were Boat of the Day

winners: Mohotta Mobetta (Rhodes 19, Kim Panda-pas); Gypsy (IOD, Bruce Dyson/Norm Cressy); andCirce’s Cup (J/105, Ric Dexter). The distinction isawarded to the top-performing boat each day, withskippers receiving pairs of 7 x 50 Steiner binoculars.For complete results, visit www.sailingworld.com.

almost useless, wheelchair-bound, he found his wayinto sailing during his career at Goldman Sachs. “In1996, I was on vacation in Newport, and someone in-vited me to go sailing. I live by the question ‘why not’instead of ‘why,’ so of course I went aboard!”Tom Brown from Northeast Harbor, Maine, was

somewhat less dramatic: He had cancer as a youngsterand had his lower leg amputated before two years ofchemotherapy. He found his way into sailboat racingas a release. “Someone invited me to come sailing on aMercury 15, and we won. I thought that was thecoolest thing; I was hooked!” Brown would go on tocompete at the highest level and is widely recognizedas one of the best sailors in the United States, able-bodied or disabled. Trevor Moore, from North Pomfret, Vt., had been

sailing Optimists since the age of 6. When his Mom,Wendy, died of breast cancer when he was 12, he says,“I went sailing as an escape, but found myself closer

to her when I was sailing – it was as ifshe was there.” Moore and teammateErik Storck, from Huntington, N.Y., havenamed the 49er they’re racing at theOlympics after Moore’s mother. Rob Crane, from Darien, Conn., was

born to the racing scene. “My father Jimwas president of North Sails in the1980s and was a very competitive yachtracer.” He says he was introduced to sail-ing before he could talk, let alone walk. As with Moore, Crane started sailing

Optimists and rapidly became competi-tive. “I race Lasers because there is somuch parity between racers. Thanks tothe parity in the field, almost anyone canwin.” Crane also played lacrosse, soccer and

ice hockey: He enjoys the physicality of asport. “Blasting along in 20 knots of windfor an hour, my heart rate can be at 160beats per minute for the entire time.”

Moore is on 49ers for a similar reason: “The boatsare the Formula 1 racing cars of sailing: The more itblows, the faster it goes” In a good wind, as expected in Weymouth, the coach,

press and umpire motorboats will be hard pressed tostay abreast of the field, with the 49ers regularly top-ping 16 knots in a good breeze. The limitations arewind strength – with a full-battened mainsail you can-not reef – and wave size. Thanks to the topography ofWeymouth Harbour, there isn’t much of a fetch in theprevailing westerlies. Callahan is naturally competitive. His career shows

it in real estate development, an MBA at HarvardBusiness School, and several years at Goldman Sachs.He jacked in the banking because he sought more inlife than money. “Though I loved the intelligence,team-working and money, it wasn’t enough. I found astruggling nonprofit called Sail to Prevail, whichteaches disabled children sailing, and took it over.” Callahan finds that teaching disabled kids his phi-

Olympian Rob Crane, from Darien, Conn., appears relaxed and right at homein the Olympic Laser Class competition.

losophy of “why not” far more rewarding than makingrich people richer. This is his third Paralympic cam-paign, his last stymied by pressure sores that, ratherthan let him play at the highest level, left him bedrid-den for two years. Brown is also on his third campaign. He was due to

trial for the 2000 Sydney Olympics when on impulsehe tried out for the Paralympic team. “I came fifth atthe Olympic trials, but was already going to Aus-tralia,” he laughs. Brown points out that going for international glory

isn’t just about getting on a boat and sailing. Much ofyour time is spent getting the funds to pay for the besttraining and equipment. This part took so much timethat when Callahan asked him to be part of the cur-rent campaign as crew of his Sonar, Brown would onlydo it if Callahan raised the funds. “Paul has a goodfundraising operation as part of Sail to Prevail, so washappy to take this role on.”Crane wishes there was more support from the state

at early stages of a racing career: “Great Britain andAustralia, notably, support sailors long before they’reOlympic material. This is a reflection of our differentsystems of government, but with such support youspend less time competing for sponsorship and moretime competing at sailing.”

All four are full-time sailors. Even at Paralympiclevel, this is a prime requirement these days. Brownteaches sailboat racing at Maine Maritime Academy,and in their time off, Moore and Crane end up advisingfuture Olympic sailors. The first founding principle of the Olympics states:

”Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on thejoy of effort, the educational value of good example, so-cial responsibility and respect….” If you’re a 12-year-old reading this – or a recently disabled person tryingto turn your life around – what advice would theseguys give in a nutshell, to achieve what they have?Callahan says simply, “Call me. I’ll share everything

I have with them for no compensation.”Moore says, “To a 12-year-old? Be a 12-year-old. It is

far too early to give the level of commitment you needto compete for the Olympics. Enjoy sailing, but don’tworry when you fail. It is about how you get up. Learnfrom your failures and get up quickly.” Crane agrees: “You should sail because you enjoy it,

not because of a goal. Work on your skills, and enjoyit, but don’t look too far ahead.” He warns that “anOlympic campaign is a full-time commitment – longhours, missing parties and hanging out with friends.It isn’t about sailing one day and being on the podiumthe next!”

MEDIA/Resource s for c rui s er s

By Sandy MarstersFor Points East

This was supposed to be easy. We just moved to anew house in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. I had this reviewto write, but no time, and there aren’t many good newboating books out any-way, so I suggested tomy editor that since Iwas moving my boat-ing library I might aswell reflect on favoritebooks while I unpackedthem at the new place.Then, panic, after

emptying all the car-tons some of the besthad disappeared: myleatherbound,mimeographed originaledition of “The Boy, Meand the Cat,” by HenryPlummer, recently re-published by the Cat-boat Association, Inc. Itshould be in everyboating library.And where the heck

is “Riddle of the Sands”by Erskine Childers? Published today by D. N. Good-child (if you want a hardbound book in your library)and Modern Library Classics in paperback — and alsodownloadable in e-book form — this is a great pre-World War I North Sea adventure story involvingyachts. A fun movie was made from the book.And I can’t find my two hardback versions of the late

Dodge Morgan’s “The Voyage of American Promise”(Houghton Mifflin) — oh, wait, here they are. I see oneis signed by the author to someone named “Bob:” “Anygoal — any challenge — one day at a time.” Let thebidding begin.This is the wonderful and incredible story — also

made into a documentary — of Dodge’s singlehanded,nonstop voyage around the world that began in Octo-ber 1985 and ended 150 days later, breaking allrecords. This is required reading for boaters of everystripe. Then there’s this book I picked up because it sounds

like something another great boating author, FarleyMowat, author of the wonderful “Grey Seas Under,”might have written about running salvage tugs in the

cold, gray North Atlantic during the war. “50 Shadesof Grey.” Huh. I’ve never opened it.OK, let’s see, what else have I got here? Oh, of course

— everything Hal and Margaret Roth ever wroteabout their voyages all over the world on their 35-foot

sailboat, Whisper.These two, whom Imet once in Portlandand whom I swearshrank during theirlifetimes to better fiton their small boats,dedicated their livesto exploring theworld’s oceans. Leafing through my

dog-eared copy of“Two on a Big Ocean,”I am reminded of hemany miles I traveledwith these guys fromthe comfort of a chairon a cold winter’snight, even before Iowned a boat. Morethan any other books,these were the onesthat were behind my

decision to spend lots of time on boats. OK, what else for classics? Oh, of course, “We Didn’t

Mean to Go to Sea,” a children’s sailing adventure byArthur Ransome that is wonderful to read aloud toyoung sailors. Hey, where are my Roger DuncanBooks? “A Cruising Guide to the Maine Coast” is arich, literary exploration of the texture of Downeastlife.Of course there are many others: “Adrift,” by Steve

Callahan, who spent 75 days adrift in a life raft afterhis small sloop sank; William F. Buckley’s sailingbooks; “Sensible Cruising Designs,” by L. Francis Her-reshoff; Roger Taylor’s books about cruising boat de-sign. Filling the bookshelves, I am reminded of all the

ways these books have nourished my fascination withall things boats, and I am grateful for every one ofthem.

FETCHING ALONG/David Buckman

There are many beautiful emerald coves along therugged Downeast coast that are easier to go tothan to leave, and putting to sea after an

overnight visit is often attended by a certain wistful-ness because they are possessed of an allure a few hourscan’t seem to satisfy.Three days into my annual cruise, I’d passed by

countless of them, thinking I’d pay a call on the wayhome, and the next thing I knew Petit Manan light-house was abeam and I’d be having dinner in Canadianwaters if I kept at it. A Maine summer is much too pre-cious to be handled carelessly, and I decided to slow mypace as the Leight rushed up the shore of Great WassIsland, bound for the Mud Hole.The anchor was barely down and the sails yet to be

furled when torrents of rain and wind raked the waterydefile. Retreating to the cabin, hardly having time totake a breath, suddenly I was free of the cares of wind,seas, boat husbandry, and much else but the moment:

the gray and green of it, tumbling clouds, flashes oflightning and peals of thunder I could feel in my chest.Afterward. I stood under the dodger, rain drops patter-ing down, watching as a cool edge of breeze came south-east, promising fog. The water turned a silky silver ,andthe Mistake Island horn sounded a doleful plaint.Morning came deaf with fog, not a breath of air stir-

ring, the world reduced a mercurial splash of waterclose aboard and pale margin of ragged spruce to star-board. The Leight’s snug interior, with its flickeringlantern, was an island within, and reminded me ofThoreau’s description of his modest quarters, whichseemed larger, being remote from neighbors. I made French toast for breakfast, looked out to the

gauzy world, read a chapter of Maurice Griffith’s “MagicOf The Swatchways,” looked out again and cast aboutwhat to make of the hours, when I realized that it wasnearly two o’clock. What a lovely thing to lose track oftime.

Nine days in the Mud Hole

The Leight found no shortage of drama, beauty and things to do in a long stay at the Mud Hole on Great Wass Island in far-Downeast Maine

The next day I put my bicycle to-gether, loaded it into the dinghy,landed, bushwhacked to a road closeby, and set off down a narrow lane.The Beals Island and Jonesport wa-terfronts streamed by like a movie.Plain houses of fisher families, wash-ing on the line, a lady working in hervegetable garden waved, and a knotof folks chatting outside the post of-fice. Stopping to gather a few stores, I

found the local IGA stocked half-pound Hershey bars – a benchmarkof a civil culture if there ever wasone. Talked to two young men at thetown dock. They wanted to be leftalone to fish without all the rules,raise a little hell if they felt like it,and be taken seriously.With a partly cloudy forecast on

the third day, I tossed a sandwich,jug of water, and a giant chocolatebar in my backpack and struck outalong the Mud Hole Trail. I can’t re-member what I did next. Maybe itwas the afternoon when I bought abucket of the sweetest clams everfrom a digger working the mud a fewboat lengths from the sloop. Or per-haps it was the rainy day I never leftthe cabin, listened to a book on tape,and spent a few hours writing. It wasa bucolic scene that made expressingideas fun. Imagine what sort of rub-bish you’d be forced to read if the ed-itor was harrying me aboutdeadlines as he often does. And I was not done with the Mud

Hole. After a tour of PassamaquoodyBay, on the way west I settled in forfour more days. Plans are perfectlygood things, but so are impulses.David Buckman has been sailing

since before there was television, andhe’s not tired of it (sailing, not TV) yet,but don’t crash your dinghy into theLeight’s topsides at midnight, as ac-tually happened at Damarisacove Is-land recently, and expect to see thebest of him, which is none too good.His book, “Bucking the Tide,” is aboutdiscovering the wild New Englandand Fundy coast in a leaky wreck ofa $400 sloop is available atwww.eastworkspublications.com

Bass, blues are blitzing, scup, tautog are bitingWestern Long Island Sound

By Richard DeMarteFor Points East

With water temperatures in their typical downwardslope throughout the fall, predatory fish in the North-east are well into their typical “full-fall-feeding” mode.This often turns out to be the most active fishing pe-riod of the year, and it is further enhanced this yearby the abundance of baitfish. Small snapper blues, peanut bunker, spearing, but-

terfish and bay anchovies have stripers and bluefishfeeding ferociously. Porgy (scup) will be hit-ting, tautog action ramps up in the fall. Bluefish: You can find these choppers in

all sizes, from snappers weighing less thana pound, to cocktails weighing a fewpounds, all the way up to the gorillas, whichweigh more than 20 pounds. This is thetime of year when sighting birds diving onlarge pods of bait being gobbled up by blue-fish will get any fisherman’s heart thump-ing. Sneaking up on these blitzes slowly andquietly is a surefire way to get into the ac-tion without scattering the bait and turningthe bite off. Start tossing a Rapala SkitterPop surface popper or a Rapala X-Rap Sub-Walk shallow diver, and crank them in hardand fast. Hold onto your rod since strikeswill feel like you just hooked into a freighttrain. These bruisers fight like no otherfish, and they deserve respect as they arebrought onboard since their teeth are like razors. Blue-fish season is open year-round in NY and CT.Striped bass: More “fish-of-a-lifetime”-sized

stripers are caught in the fall in the Northeast thanin any other time of year. Of course, there are alwaysexceptions, like Greg Myerson’s world record 81.88pound, 54inch striped bass, caught along the Conneci-cut coast on Aug. 4, 2011. So if you’re gunning for apersonal-best striper, your odds are best if you do so inthe fall. Stripers are truly ambush experts, and fallfinds them waiting for bait to drift by around harborentrances, jetties and outcroppings, where they re-spond extremely well to chumming, and will rarelypass up live or cut bait. Striped Bass fishing closesDec. 15 in New York, and is open year-round in Con-necticut.

Porgies (scup): Get ‘em while the gettin’ is stillgood. They’re a fast-action, blast-to-catch, eager-to-bite, tasty-critter kind of fish that’s just plain fun tocatch. Porgies are mmm-mmm-good on the table, andcan save your fishing day when other fish are just notbiting. Wrecks and reefs are your best bet when tar-geting porgies, and chumming will increase your oddsof catching them. Bait of choice is sandworms: if thereare any porgies in the area, they’ll bite like crazy.Porgy fishing is open through Dec. 31, both in both

New York and Connecticut.Blackfish (tautog): This is the most

sought-after inshore fish in the Northeastas the weather turns from brisk to cold inlate fall and early winter, so get out yourgloves, wool hat and sweater and see ifyou’re fast enough to pull these “white-chins” out from their rocky lairs before theydig in and break off your line. At the first hint of a nibble, set that hook

and give your reel a few cranks as you liftyour rod high. If you’re fast and lucky, you’llkeep that blackfish from heading back intohis home in the rocks. Blackfish lurkamong rocks, reefs and wrecks, and theyare relished as table fare due to their pure-white, sweet tasting meat. Baits typicallyinclude several varieties of crabs, includingAsians, fiddlers and greens. Some sharpieshave made some fine catches using the new

blackfish jigs, tipped with crabs. Tautog fishing closesDec. 6t in Connecticut and Dec. 15 in New York.Going out with a bang: Closing out 2012 by get-

ting into some of the year is sure to fuel your spirit andgive you enough fishing stories to tell throughout thewinter, so here’s to wishing everyone tight lines. Overthe winter I’ll be working on some new articles as Ialso count down the days until my boat goes back intothe water in the early spring.

Richard (www.nyctfishing.com) is headed to Bing-hamton University this fall to start his college educa-tion, where he’ll be majoring on environmental studies.Last summer, he landed, tagged, measured, weighedand released his 1,000th striped bass. His fishing col-umn in Points East will resume in the spring.

These jaws from a 13-pound bluefish illustratewhy the marauders areoften referred to as“choppers.”

Pearson Marine Group, of Warren, R.I., has informedus that orders are in hand, and Hull No. 1 has alreadybeen demolded (all Alerions are SCRIMP-molded), fortheir latest new model, the Alerion 41. Alerion Yachtshas been in the forefront of the popularity of the so-called “gentlemen’s daysailer.” But this powerfully-rigged sloop has a full accommodations plan andstanding headroom, both of which extend daysailinginto comfortable overnight cruising. The Alerion 41 has a deck plan and rig that, the

builder says, can be safely and easily managed single-handed. All controls are led to the helm position, andpushbutton reversible electric winches facilitate sailadjustments. The full-roach mainsail with full-lengthbattens is stowed with lazy jacks, while the roller jibincludes a jib boom, so the Alerion 41 can be under wayfast.Control lines are led under-deck, the anchor chute

and windlass are below the foredeck, and the sternswim and boarding steps are concealed. Beneath clas-sic topsides is a modern underbody, with fin keel andspade rudder. Below, a master stateroom is forward, and a guest

stateroom is aft to starboard. Both settees in the sa-loon, are long enough to serve us single berths, with anavigation area located on the aft end of the starboard

settee. Included throughout are shelves, lockers, draw-ers and bins.FMI: www.alerionyachts.com.

Dr. Edmund B. “Ned” Cabot69, Belmont, Mass.Cabot, 69, a lifelong sailor,

drowned Sept. 1 off the coastof Newfoundland, when arogue wave swept him fromhis yacht, the Royal CanadianMounted Police said today. Hewas on the final leg of a jour-ney he and friends had pur-sued over the past sevensummers on his sloop, Cielita, that had taken themfrom Nova Scotia through Greenland, Iceland andScotland to the coast of Norway. The retired surgeon, sailing with two friends, report-

edly set out along the Newfoundland coast in windsthat neared gale force, and the winds were said to in-crease in velocity during the day. He was about 200miles from the end of his long journey, when he cameon deck to relieve the helmsman. The wave struck theboat, knocked it on its side, and swept Cabot into thesea. He was a founding board member of Sailors for the

Sea, a strong contributor to the Sea Education Associ-ation, and a volunteer at the Grenfell Mission inLabrador. Those who went on passage with Dr. Cabot

often described him as “the most careful and respon-sible sailor they ever met.”

Helen K. Ingerson89, Penfield, N.Y.Mrs. Ingerson, 1996 recipient of U.S. Sailing’s most

prestigious award, the Nathanael G. Herreshoff Tro-phy for outstanding contributions to the sport of sail-ing, passed away on Aug. 25. Her late husband, JosephP. Ingerson, introduced her to sailing, and, next to him,it became her greatest passion in life. Helen was an active member and officer of Rochester

(N.Y.) Yacht Club, and with Joe, initiated the PlatinumPoint Yacht Club in Punta Gorda, Fla., where sheserved as commodore. Helen was known worldwide forher commitment and dedication to the sport of sailing.She was a competitor, a senior race Officer, and judgefor Newport-based US Sailing, an International Sail-ing Federation Judge, and a leader of other sailing or-ganizations including the Great Lakes Yacht RacingAssociation. She was a pioneer for women in sailing, running rac-

ing clinics for women, and being at the forefront at theinception of women’s events such as the InternationalWomen’s Keelboat Championship, the Women’s Openand the Adams Cup at the national level.

LAST WORD/Suzy Mar t in

My husband Bob and I met Jerry and Rose Jor-dan, of the m/v Alliance, on a Points EastFundy Flotilla during the summer of 2009.

After traveling from Northeast Harbor all day in goodweather, we were allglad to see the ScotiaPrince leave, as wewere searching for ourberths at the Yarmouth(N.S.) Yacht Club. As we docked and

tied down, I spotted mygold Sealife bracelet ly-ing on the dock. Pick-ing up the bracelet, acold nose found myarm, and I turned tomeet Kieno, the labfrom the boat next tous. Kieno was Rose andJerry’s black lab. We in-troduced ourselves andour boats to each otherand the dog. Where areyou from? Where doyou keep your boat?And have you done thisbefore? Pretty much SOP, but then out came thewords, “We are thinking of traveling down the Intra-coastal Waterway.” “We have been thinking about it, too.”

“When did you plan to go?” “Oh, next fall . . . hmmm, September 2010? Spend

the winter and then retrace our steps to be home byJune 2011.”

“Gee, that’s sounds in-teresting. Bob thesepeople want to do theIntracoastal next year.” We, the crew of the

m/v Saraday, had hadthe same thought buthave never put a time-line in place. Maybe thiswould be the push weneeded to get ourselvesinto gear: We were re-tired, owned the rightboat for the cruise – anEastbay 40 – and hadthe skills gainedthrough PowerSquadron courses. Peo-ple who’d done the tripsaid we shouldn’t worryabout going by ourselvesas you meet people alongthe way, but here was a

chance to ply the ICW with another boat, which wasenticing.So the trip materialized throughout the winter of

2009, with a departure date set for Sept. 13, 2010 from

Buddy boats in the ICWJerry and Rose Jordan’s boat Alliance and our boat Saraday cruised together down, and then up, the ICW.

the Portland Yacht Club. With a long target date, wewere able to meet several times for dinner to plan onpulling off this cruise in company. This article dealswith how we planned the trip – from weather, postaldeliveries, oil changes along the way, and computers,to how we decided where to stay every night.

Daily routine: The trip took nine and a halfmonths, calling for a routine for both boats to be com-fortable. We decided to cover 50 miles a day, leaving at7 a.m. or 6 a.m., depending on the time changes, so wewere both up at dawn as the Jordan’s had to take careof Kieno first and then be ready to leave at about 7a.m. or sunrise. Traveling during most of the morningput us at our predestined marina usually around noon.Once we had taken care of the boats and Kieno, wewere ready to go out for lunch and exploring. In someareas, we stayed two days and rented a car to take inthe museums, gardens, and shopping for local Tervismugs. At last count, we’d toured 60 museums and/orgardens, including Williamsburg, St. Augustine, andKey West.

Weather:This, of course, was the big deciding factor,even on the first day as we got caught in a wind andtide situation that made us return to our moorings andthen leave on the 13th. Having a Verizon smart phone– with a Weatherbug Elite ap and Marine Weather Pro

by Bluefin ap – really helped as we were stuck in LongIsland awaiting calmer seas in the Atlantic before wecould travel down to Atlantic City. The phone allowed us to plan on the best weather

window in which to leave as we could not depend onTV weather where we were moored, at the Great KillsYacht Club, Staten Island, N.Y. The weather ap alsohelped us predict the waves in Albemarle Sound, N.C.before we crossed (early in the morning is the best)and a great comfort when we were caught in betweenthe tornado outbreaks during Spring 2011 as we couldsee the movement of the squall lines across North Car-olina.

Mail: Now that was a problem we both solved butwith totally different methods. We rented a large postoffice box and had our mail transferred there withouthaving to do a change of address. A generous friend,David, went to the post office every month and culledthrough all of the fan mail (trash) and pulled out themost important stuff, which he sent on to us. Before we left, we changed as much as we could to

paperless, which cut down on the mail needing to beforwarded. Then, whenever we were going to be some-where for a day or two, we called David and had himovernight mail (e.g., FedEx, UPS) that needed atten-tion, plus birthday and Christmas cards. It workedwell, and it was nice to receive things from home. Rose


and Jerry used a similar procedure, with his brotherpicking up mail, scanning the most important items,emailing them to us and doing an occasional mail drop.

Oil changes: This was an experience. Jerry hadenough oil to do his two changes on board, but we hadto go to Walmart to buy Rotella Oil by Shell (16 gallonsper change). It almost became hoarding: Every Wal-mart was a magnet drawing Bob in with deep dis-counted prices on oil. We hired taxis to take us out forthe precious liquid, rented cars, or pulled it in our pull-cart. Then we’d have to dispose of the white containers.Both boats were successful in changing their oil with-out a mishap.

Provisioning: And while we are talking aboutshopping, we did do some shopping in Walmart forfood, but our first choice was Publix, which promptedour first question when we docked at the daily marina:“Do you have a Publix, and how far?” Their producewas excellent, meat great, and general selection ter-rific. Plus the stores were all generally organized inthe same way, so it was easy to find what we wanted.Since we had to hoof it most of the time, we didn’t doa lot of impulse shopping and overload our pull cart.Publix is found throughout the south, but when westarted traveling south and had to remain in Long Is-land due to weather (nine days), the only shop wecould find was a Russian grocery store; thank good-ness for labels with pictures on them.

Computers: Laptop computers were necessary. Webought a Verizon AirCard and had great reception ev-erywhere. It was nice to keep up with people at homeand family via email, plus I did a travel log as we wentdown and back. My digital camera worked very well:It was nice to take pictures and post them to everyonethe same day via email. Jerry was dependent on thedaily marina having WiFi. In terms of getting online,some were very good and some kind of iffy. The Air-Card, although expensive, was a great way to track billpaying and for those down times when making a con-

nection with friends along the way was a great moralebooster.

Marinas:We tried to be very flexible as to where tostay but as moorings are not an option except at localyacht clubs which we used several times, we did planto anchor out a lot. We soon learned with Kieno thatmarinas with slips and floating docks were the best op-tion for getting the dog on and off (she was a great trav-eling companion; never barked the whole trip) – andsometimes for Suzy, who was having shoulder issues.Most were well serviced with showers, WiFi, and float-ing docks. We did discover the term “floating dock” had a wide

variety of interpretations. Floating docks were expen-sive, they are usually $1.50-$2 a foot, not always avail-able, and the depth of the water beneath them couldvary. One marina had floating docks and could put usright next to each other because, as we found out whenwe arrived after a rough entrance into Atlantic City,they only had two slips. Their ad in the cruising guidewas beautiful, but they were located in a not-too-nicesection of town and no showers. So much for glossy pho-tos. At Cape May, we were told we’d be right next to each

other again, but they forgot to tell us that the slips weredry at low tide. Thank goodness high tide was at 7 a.m.,and thanks to our smart-phone ap for the tide info. Wemade it out and up the Delaware Bay.There was also a “resort” in the Keys (be careful of the

word “resort”) with a lovely glossy aerial photo of palmtrees, boats at their dock, and travelers enjoying the Ba-hama Mamas on the deck. This “resort” also had float-ing docks, tied to the pilings, which made it challengingto disembark. And on further investigation, we foundshowers with no hot water and no WiFi. Pelicans werethe only travelers enjoying the deck. In the middle of nowhere, we found a tiny marina

that was mostly a fishing camp with two slips withfloating docks. The electrical outlets on the docks werelong extension cords duct-taped to two-by-fours thatstuck out of the water, attached to the dock. But this

ONBOARD, NO DETAIL HAS BEEN LEFT UNEXPLORED.

If you didn’t make it last year, here’s some of what you missed:

one had adorable river otters that made up for the ducttape. The most unusual marina was in the Dismal Swamp

at the North Carolina Welcome Station. Docks are pro-vided for free, but you may have to raft with four or fiveboats, depending when you arrive. This was a greatway to get together and share the experiences of theday dodging debris in the water.So what was the Intracoastal Waterway like? It is

shallow and pretty well marked but not to be takenlightly: A couple of times the depthsounder read zerounder keel. It is well traveled, and we saw many boatstwo or three times along the Waterway. We used the Internet for updates on various cruising

websites as to shoaling and movement of buoys. Oneor two boats were aground in New Jersey and NorthCarolina, and in Georgia we could have grounded onmany spots, but with a little planning and diligence onboth boats, we only stirred up mud.But the greatest part of the trip was seeing a part of

the East Coast you would not normally see in a car.There are lots of little towns and big towns with allkinds of attractions, but it was the sleepy little townslike Georgetown, S.C., we enjoyed the most, especiallywhen looking for bakeries, ice cream, and a bookstoreand hearing the local lore during carriage rides. An-napolis is another town not to be missed, in addition toSt. Michael’s on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake.The winter was spent in Marathon, Fla., Alliance in

the town mooring field and Saraday at a slip. Werented a car once a week and saw every museum andanimal park between Key Largo and Key West. Aftersix weeks, we moved the boats to Fort Myers, goingaround the tip of Florida and negotiating the 20-oddbridges to get past Miami. At Fort Myers, we walked to all the attractions, in-

cluding a Red Sox game. We started to trek home inMarch, retracing our steps, except we bypassed Miamiby going across Lake Okeechobee to Stuart and FortPierce. The trip was a once in a lifetime experience accord-

ing to both boats. Many of the boats we met were on adirect route to the Bahamas or doing the Great Loopand were concerned about time. Most of them anchoredout and ate aboard, which saved money. Since we werenot on a tight schedule, we sampled the local fare. So would we do it again? Well, we probably couldn’t

afford it, but we are certainly glad we did it when wedid. We highly recommend the ICW cruise to those whowants to stop and smell the roses.Bob and Suzy, retired Verizon corporation pilot and

retired biology teacher, respectively, have been boatingin Maine off and on for about 30 years in various sail-boats and one powerboat. Veterans of two Points EastFundy Flotillas, they are members of the PortlandYacht Club.
